FULL-MOUTH RECONSTRUCTION TO REPAIR EXTENSIVE DENTAL DAMAGE

Repair Cavities with Teeth FillingsAt our Jeffersonville, IN dentist office, you have several options for repairing tooth decay. The most common method is with metal-free fillings. These do not contain mercury. Instead, you'll get a filling made from a composite resin colored to look natural in your mouth. It repairs damage but looks great. You can also get inlays and onlays, which cover and seal up damaged areas. Inlays go on the biting surface of a tooth. Onlays can flow over the edge onto the side.

Same-Day Dental Crowns Are HereA crown is a tooth-colored cap placed over a damaged tooth. Crowns are great for repairing large cavities. They also help when a tooth is so damaged it might fracture open. We have a state-of-the-art CEREC machine at Kirchner Dental that makes CEREC dental crowns while you wait. Instead of waiting weeks, you'll get your crown in one visit.

Root Canal Treatment Can Save Your ToothTooth decay and gingivitis are caused by bacteria. If a tooth gets cracked, or if a cavity exposes the pulp inside, the tooth can easily become infected. Such infections cause toothaches and can destroy the tooth from within. Root canal treatment allows top-notch Jeffersonville, [[[ClientStreetState]]] dentists, Drs. Michael Kirchner and Kimberly Sherry to remove the infected pulp, saving the tooth and ending the toothache.

Replace Your Missing ToothUnfortunately, not every tooth can be saved with a crown or root canal. In these rare cases, top-rated Kirchner Dental dentists, can extract the tooth and replace it with a dental bridge or work with a surgeon for an implant. Bridges are replacement teeth held in place by a pair of crowns. Implants use titanium roots implanted in your jawbone to hold the replacement teeth. Both have their advantages and disadvantages, so be sure to discuss with our trusted dentists, which would be better for you.

Dental Veneers Can Repair Your SmileVeneers are ultra-thin "shells"; that cover just the front of your teeth. They are often called "instant orthodontics" because they can immediately turn crooked teeth and gaps into straight, even teeth. They can even cover stains with a healthy, white color. Because they seal up the front of your teeth, they can also restore them. Specifically, veneers can cover chips and cracks, making sure they don't get any worse.
